BEIJING — During their controversial six-decade-rule of Tibet, China’s Communist Party leaders have been accused by human rights groups of trying to tame the restive region by imprisoning Tibetan political prisoners, keeping in exile their leader the Dalai Lama and repressing Tibetan religion and culture.
Now, China has turned to interracial marriage in an apparent attempt to assimilate Tibetans and stamp out rebellious impulses.
In recent weeks, Chinese officials in charge of the Tibetan Autonomous Region have ordered a run of stories in local newspapers promoting mixed marriages. And according to newly published government reports, the government has adopted a series of policies in recent years favorable to interracial couples.
Urging officials to push mixed marriages harder, China’s highest official in the Tibetan region, Chen Quanguo, recently staged a photo op with 19 mixed families.
“As the saying goes, ‘blood is thicker than water,’ we should make our ethnic relationship like that,” Chen said at the meeting in June, according to the state-run Tibetan Daily. The government must “actively promote intermarriages.”
…The government has sold the effort in state-run media as a way to achieve ethnic unity, but critics argue that its true aim is to further weaken Tibetan culture….
For weeks, government-run newspapers in Tibet have featured happy mixed couples in which the children love both cultures and equally speak Tibetan and Mandarin.
But among Tibetans, there is great fear about losing their culture and traditions.
Jews have long known that intermarriage means the destruction of your way of life. If a Jewish man marries a non-Jewish woman, it tells his children that being Jewish is not important (not to mention that according to Jewish law, only those born of a Jewish mother are Jewish, or if they convert to Judaism).
Whites have long had an abhorrence of intermarriage and shunned those who did, but there’s been a media onslaught against this way of thinking and few whites talk against inter-racial marriage anymore.
In the news media in the First World, racial inter-marriage is almost always portrayed as a wonderful thing. The children of such marriages can get many affirmative action benefits by claiming to be whatever race offers the most goodies. By identifying as black, even though he is half-white, Barack Obama got into Harvard Law School and became president of the United States. That would not have happened if he had identified as white. As a result, we have the first Affirmative Action President.
Intermarriage on a large scale means the decimation of the group that intermarries, whether that group is whites, Jews, Christians, or Tibetans.
